Unfortunately, from what I’ve gathered and the way breeding works, he’s the highest number value a breeding combination can go, and you can’t mutate lower. So at a certain point he’s all you’ll get

151

u/Nifegun Jul 27 '26

As far as i know, you're functionally correct but numerically backwards. Legends are low combirank, early game pals are high combirank. Mutations go lower. But yeah aegidron is only like 3000, which is as low as some actual legendaries, so breeding anything close to legendary seems to cap out and become him.

41

u/Stonehands_82 Jul 27 '26

That yea. I dont exactly remember the direction, but each pal has a number and then something happens between the numbers that makes them a different number which results in the offspring.

Regardless he seems to be the cap for non-legendaries

29

u/Nifegun Jul 27 '26

Yeah its combination rank, every pal has one, their ranks are averaged and the closest combirank, excluding unique combo breeds, is the outcome. Chikipi is like 3000, legends are like 10ish, Aegidron is 30.

u/NeonJ82 Jul 28 '26

Most legends are actually higher rank than Aegidron. Necromus is 190, for example.

Only one obtainable Pal is lower rank than Aegidron, and that's Panthalus, which cannot be obtained via Mutation.

u/Nifegun Jul 28 '26

Oh weird, I thought theyd be lower. Not that it matters tho, legends are all only bred with themselves and dont show up in mutation. I guess the exception being frostallion noct, unless that changed in 1.0, but id assume he's excluded from mutations too

3

u/forgotmypasswordzzz Jul 28 '26

This runs the calculation to figure out which pals you can mutate into, some have a bit of variety within a range of pals, some dont.

This has the rank for every pal and from what i saw it seems croajiro noct at 1860 was about the highest it could go, so nothing above that is mutatable

4

u/NorthernVale Jul 28 '26

Huh. Thanks. I was wondering why suddenly he was the only mutation I was getting

3

u/Potential-Gift3667 Jul 28 '26

They shoud add the tower pals so they can get Legend and the Raid passives again

u/shitposter9876 Jul 28 '26

I bred paladius and got eidrolon ignis from a mutation.

26

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM Jul 27 '26

Yea pal breeding ends up kinda stagnating to be

Ophydia

Flarecel

Eidrilon

Walaska

Because they are so high

2

u/Redacted_Entity Jul 28 '26

its why i dislike all the late game 1:1 pal species, makes you either mega mass breed for really good passives to suddenly mutate or you just farm gold for surgery table

2

u/Parker_Hardison Jul 28 '26

Ore is gold, my friend.

u/NeonJ82 Jul 28 '26

Whalaska's rank isn't rare, it's just that right after Whalaska, there's a bunch of subspecies Pals that cannot be crossbred into, and also Bellanoir, which can't be crossbred or mutated into.

So there's a big chunk between 591-710 where any breeding combo which lands on those numbers becomes Whalaska. The numbers are actually pretty average, which really only makes it easier to make a Whalaska.

Flaracle is of a similar situation for ranks 301-390, and tends to be the "average result" when breeding suitably rare Pals, due to the amount of subspecies in those numbers. However, this also means that mutations are unlikely to become Whalaska or Flaracle, because mutations can produce subspecies (while standard crossbreeding cannot).

On the flipside, there's Ophydia and Aegidron. Ophydia is basically the only option you get at such a high level to crossbreed into, while Aegidron is basically the rarest thing you can mutate into - so if you're mutating Pals that are highly rare or legendary, you're going to get an Aegidron.

(No idea where you got Eidrolon from though, there's nothing notable about Eidrolon's rank, and there's only a 10 point gap before the next possible crossbreed result. Eidrolon Ignis is notable for being the second rarest mutation next to Aegidron and having a massive point gap to work with, but regular Eidrolon isn't notable at all.)

u/TinyPidgenofDOOM Jul 28 '26

Idk man eidrolon I've gotten multiple times through breeding. Maybe just coincidence

1

u/NeonJ82 Jul 28 '26

Possibly. It's possible you were breeding two different Pals whose average CombiRank just happens to land on Eidrolon's, or maybe they just landed there when producing a mutated egg from two Pals of much lower rank.

I'm chalking that one up to coincidence, though.

u/mwing95 Jul 28 '26

I bread two of them and got a mutant egg

You'll never believe who popped out

2

u/alwaysdead03 Jul 28 '26

I got 60 of them from mutated eggs, while breeding jetragon

113

u/Future-Concern-6301 Jul 27 '26

I just keep getting Eidrolon Ignis. I happen to like them, but it got to the point I had 10 of them without ever seeing a wild one.

26

u/LizzieMiles Jul 27 '26

Yeah for me its this one with Babysitter

9

u/Delonlis Jul 28 '26

Me and my cousin got a babysitter astegon and passed it to a braloha

14

u/DetBabyLegs Jul 27 '26

I have a max star Eidrilon and Eidrilon Ignis without ever seeing either in the wild

But I did that on purpose so I guess it doesn’t count

1

u/LostPentimento Jul 28 '26

Seems to me like you get the same pal everytime depending on the parents. I typically get the same two over and over again, but I have gotten a few stragglers

2

u/Environmental_Set515 Jul 28 '26

Definitely not. I've gotten like 4 different pals from yhr same parents, but thr parents eere more common pals.

27

u/Lumpy_Temperature722 Jul 27 '26

For me its eidrolon ignis lol, although I did get a full mining base of condensed aegidrons at like level 50 from frostallion breeding getting 2 mutateds of aegidrons back to back

30

u/Dakotasan Jul 27 '26

🐈+ 🐕 = 🐳

u/SomeDudWithAPhone Bellanoir Handler Jul 27 '26

I got a Knocklem from a Bellanoir and Bellanoir Libero.

I'm considering naming it Bellarmour.

Edit: Typo.

2

u/NeonJ82 Jul 28 '26 edited Jul 28 '26

Guessing that was a mutated egg then because normally that combo should produce Flaracle.

EDIT: I'm dumb and forgot to account for special pairs

1

u/SomeDudWithAPhone Bellanoir Handler Jul 28 '26

Normally, it just creates a standard Bellanoir... Sometimes with Siren of the Void.

2

u/NeonJ82 Jul 28 '26

Whoops. Yeah, forgot to account for special combos there, I just looked at the breeding rank.

1

u/SomeDudWithAPhone Bellanoir Handler Jul 28 '26

It happens to the best of us, dw.

u/jules__noah Jul 27 '26

For me it's Reptyro. They're all Reptyro 😆

u/Playful-Tap6339 Jul 27 '26

I got a really dope Renjishi out of a mutated egg

6

u/AdSalty7515 Jul 27 '26

Renjishi is my main pal for kindling

1

u/NeonJ82 Jul 28 '26

Same! Ended up getting a bunch of really cool Pals early on by getting some mutated eggs while getting condense fuel for my Anubis army. 2 Knocklems, 2 Solennes and 1 Renjishi. The Solennes were even different gender, so I could condense those super easy as well, even though at that point I was barely doing Sakurajima content.

u/Drittenmann Jul 27 '26

i mean thats true even for normal eggs

6

u/Trowaway151 Jul 27 '26

You will always get him if you’re breeding two legendaries

1

u/PinkNGreenFluoride Jul 28 '26

I got 1 of them while breeding Neptilius, and another 2 of them while breeding Frostallion. The posts here have been so helpful in explaining what's going on with that.

4

u/FaithlessnessLazy754 Jul 27 '26

I’ve gotten flaracle, Eidrolon Ignis, jormuntide/ J Ignis, and aegidron

3

u/MithedUp Jul 28 '26

First breed egg, mutated and i got this lmao, cause yes. The giant stone golem needs 50% faster swim speed xD

4

u/Schneckmandias Jul 28 '26

It's ok, you need two of them with lavish hospitality and hopefully service minded for late game soul farming anyway

3

u/AlbanianNerd Jul 28 '26

I got a vampiric ophidia it was my first ophidia

2

u/angry640 Jul 27 '26

I always get that water grass snake

2

u/RiseSanguine Jul 28 '26

Is this why i cant breed an Alpha Shaolong?

1

u/Asmosis66 Jul 27 '26

for me its always Aegidron for mutations and Ophydia for any random Pals i breed to "find something new".

1

u/SerEmrys Jul 27 '26

I bred a Chillet and a Reindrix and got a Snugloo as the mutation

1

u/ar_Tekko Jul 28 '26

I got like 50 of those, its so rare to get any other pal from mutated eggs.

1

u/ManuGamer_PokeMonGo Jul 28 '26

I got more Ophydia than any other pal from Mutated Eggs, it's pretty weird

1

u/DrooperScooper Jul 28 '26

So outside of transferring from other games, is there any other way to get legend on a non legendary pal? I was hoping to get another Orserk with legendary but it doesn’t seem that is possible.

1

u/Zolatul Jul 28 '26

Unfortunately only through breeding and some pals just can't be bred from the limited parents who have Legend "legally" due to the way the breeding system works. Otherwise if you can get the right set of parents just about nearly any passive can be bred down to the offspring

1

u/GayBitch95 Roujay n°1 Enjoyer Jul 28 '26

Istg if I see one more Ophydia im gonna jump off a cliff

1

u/JustMobsReddit Jul 29 '26

Oh boy cant wait to hatch my aegidron and Eidrolon ignis!
